Xiao Guan, Pingbei General's Mansion

As soon as the sun set in the West Mountain, Gong Fa was ordered by Yan Kui to stay outside the gate of the General's Mansion, quietly waiting for Qi and Cao who came to the banquet today.

The two came over in two groups, Cao Yuanjiang came first, followed by his sixth brother Cao Yuanlang, and more than ten guards.

"General Cao, the last general Gong Fa, was ordered to welcome the general into the mansion here." Gong Fa smiled standardly, and greeted the Cao brothers with a smile.

Cao Yuanjiang glanced at Gong Fa, who was short and sturdy in front of him, and saw that although he was not good-looking, the armor on his body could only be worn by generals above the fifth grade, and he immediately glanced at Yan Kui again.

Having a dignified general greet guests outside the gate is not something that ordinary prestige can do.

Cao Yuanjiang lives by himself, unless he uses his grandfather's name, except for his younger brothers, the rest of the five-rank military positions, he can send errands, but if these generals are allowed to receive guests as doormen, I am afraid that few people will honestly obey orders.

From this point of view alone, Yan Kui's influence in the Beiling Border Army and the generals under his command is comparable to ordinary people.

…………

Gong Fa didn't know Cao Yuanjiang's thoughts, he respectfully welcomed the Cao family brothers into the general's mansion, turned his head and came out to the gate, waiting for Qi He's arrival.

He didn't wait long, maybe there was a tacit understanding between Qi and Cao, not long after the Cao Yuanjiang brothers arrived, the father and son of the Qi family came to the General's Mansion with more than 20 guards.

Gong Fa went up to greet him as usual, and the response he received was obviously much colder than just now, Gong Fa didn't care, he had long known the contradiction between the Qi family's father and son and Yan Kui, and he never thought that he could get a good face from this two masters.

It's a routine, and it's over when the scene is passable.

Gong Fa led the Qi family father and son to the main hall of the General's Mansion, and after meeting with Yan Kui, the banquet kicked off tonight.

Xu Yu, who was in charge of presiding over the banquet, instructed the people below to take the dishes, and it didn't take much time to wait until the wine and food were complete, Yan Kui, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his wine glass with a smile.

"Yan set up a banquet tonight for the sake of the grandfather and General Cao, the two of them came all the way, it was really hard, Yan Mou respected the two of them for a cup."

Yan Kui toasted, Qi and Cao couldn't pretend not to see it, they raised their glasses and drank with Yan Kui.

When this glass of wine was exhausted, Yan Kui announced the official opening of the banquet, and the generals who had been hinted at before coming took turns to toast Qi Cao and the others with their wine glasses, especially those who saluted Qi He.

However, it is also understandable that Qi He is the envoy of the frontier and the leader of the border army, and although Xiao Guanzhong serves under Yan Kui, they all nominally belong to Qi He's subordinates.

Before the banquet, it is normal in officialdom to toast one's immediate boss, flatter him, and bring him closer to each other.

It's just that this scene has another meaning in the hearts of the Qi family father and son who are secretly guarding against Yan Kui.

…………

Qi He is okay, in the end, he is an old fox who has been an official for many years, he knows the seriousness of the matter, and understands that Yan Kui will never assassinate himself in public.

So although he secretly guessed, he only thought that Yan Kui wanted to take the opportunity to instigate his subordinates to pour wine on him, and wanted to make himself embarrassed in public when he was drunk and lose his face.

Compared with him, Qi Weiqing and Second Young Master Qi obviously had a much more sinister and despicable opinion of Yan Kui than his own father.

He saw that the crowd was toasting around his father Qi He, and he actually made up in his mind that these wines were poisonous wine prepared by Yan Kui, and he wanted to poison their father and son.

Or maybe Yan Kui wanted to get drunk and confuse them, ease their vigilance, and inflict assassination again.........

In short, in the heart of Second Young Master Qi, he is an out-and-out demon, no matter what he does, he wants to be detrimental to his father and son.

With this kind of thinking in mind, Qi Weiqing naturally couldn't watch Qi He being toasted.

But after all, he didn't lose his senses, knowing that it was Yan Kui's territory now, and he didn't dare to tear his face with Yan Kui at the banquet, so Second Young Master Qi thought about it for a long time, and finally held back a clever trick.

He pretended to be careless on the pretext of blocking the wine for his father, and overturned the wine case in front of his father Qi He to the ground, the cups and plates were broken, the wine and food were scattered, and Qi He's surroundings were in a mess, so the wine naturally couldn't be persuaded anymore.

…………

I have to say that although Second Young Master Qi is usually a little reckless and mediocre, today's trick is really effective.

not only dispersed the generals of Xiao Guan who toasted with Qi He in one fell swoop, but also made Qi He think of a good reason to get out under an excuse.

So, when Qi Dazhen's envoy Yan Fangcai's wine case overturned, a lot of wine and soup stains splashed on his clothes, causing him to be untidy and undeceitful, so he confessed to Yan Kui and planned to leave the table early to go back to tidy up.

Qi He wanted to withdraw, but Yan Kui was willing to let him.

finally got to his own territory, how could he let the Qi family father and son get out so easily?

Isn't it just that the clothes are dirty, and the house has long prepared ready-made replacement clothes.

Yan Kui clapped his hands, asked people to get two sets of brand-new clothes, and looked at Qi He, who was a little surprised, General Yan smiled.

"At the end of today, I want to have a drink with my grandfather and General Cao all night, thinking that if you drink too much and feel unwell, you have to have a change of clothes, so let people prepare it early, and the size is specially purchased according to your size, and it will definitely fit properly.

Someone came, take the grandfather to change his clothes in the hall, and wait for him, grandpa, when you come back, I will give you a few more glasses. ”

"Poof......

Cao Liuye looked at Zhen from the side, and saw Qi He with a dark face and followed the general's subordinates to the side hall to change clothes, Qi Weiqing wanted to follow, but was quietly pulled by the two generals, and forced him to stay as a hostage, he couldn't help but sneer, and whispered to the eldest brother Cao Yuanjiang.

"It seems that this General Yan is determined to rectify the Qi family's father and son, and he is well prepared."

Cao Yuanjiang picked up the wine glass, used the wine as a cover, and returned to his sixth brother.

"Last time at the General Pass, Qi He first sent his son to provoke, and then he was in the government office for a few hours, if it weren't for Yan Kui's eloquence and will, he just protected his face in front of the Qi family's father and son, and fought back, otherwise this deputy envoy Yan would have become a joke in the government office.

Now that time has passed, his father and son of the Qi family have arrived at the home of Yan Kui, the relationship between the two sides has always been not harmonious, and there are previous grievances, Yan Kui must want to make up for it again, this banquet, I am afraid that the drunkard does not mean to drink.

However, these have nothing to do with our brothers, no matter how Yan Kui cleans up the Qi family today, our brothers just drink and watch the show. ”

"Big brother is right, it's none of your business, drink and watch the show."

Schadenfreude flashed in Cao Liuye's eyes, and he touched a glass with his eldest brother with a bright smile, and then waited for the show to come on.
